It is sort of like sitting back in front of the TV watching for the count down to start for a Space Shuttle launch. In this case it will be implosion.

Cities are the scourge of society not the center of civilization many think. Cities are where all the problems begin, all the money flows, all the major corruption is, where all the major crime is and where the majority of liberals live and the entitlement crowds flock to.
I’ll take small town rural America any day.

"Weiner took himself out of the running." Somehow, just your phrasing of that answer is hilarious!

Why did New Yorkers elect this nut job?The other ones were worse.
Why was that? That's the real question.

Why did New Yorkers elect this nut job? Have New Yorkers gone beyond stupid?"The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79."- Douglas Adams (1952-2001), Mostly Harmless
Interesting factoids regarding New York -- New York City has a lower median per capita income than New York State.
Wyoming has a higher per capita income than New York.
I think de Blasio may be grossly overestimating the size of the herd of sheep he has to shear.

I suppose those figures don’t include non-taxable government benefits?

I suppose those figures dont include non-taxable government benefits?I'd guess not -- but the sheep are already being pretty closely shorn pay for all of New York's generous social benefit programs. New York states's residents have the highest total tax burden of Obama's 57 states -- New York City's taxes are the highest in the state.
I'm only surprised that Atlas hasn't shrugged in New York. Yet.
This experiment is going to be interesting to watch -- from the other side of the Hudson River. (Probably safest to watch it from a bunker a thousand miles away.)

We need a Constitutional Amendment to deny the vote to anyone who has accepted any Gov’t welfare within a year prior to the election. Elsewise the collapse will be swift and catastrophic.

You ask why did New Yorkers elect this nutjob?
Easy — De Blasio’s son has an Angela-Davis-style afro, and New Yorkers thought that looked fresh.
True story.

I think some Dem’s are actually going to regret not having Anthony Weiner as mayor before this is over.

"Hey all you poor New Yorkers. You know why you're poor? (voice suddenly changing into Kinison shouting volume) BECAUSE MOST OF YOU ARE STUPID LAZY PARASITES!!!! THAT'S WHY YOU'RE POOR YOU BUNCH OF EFFING WORTHLESS LEECHES!!! (voice change back to calm Kinison.)Thanks folks, and remember to vote for me on polling day. Bye." I'd have voted for him just to hear him rant. Can you imagine his SOTU message?

Good. Let them try every looney ProgTard policy they can. We can use New York as a kind of Zoo or Reservation, where the idiots demonstrate just what happens when they actually get power.
This 1981 movie comes to mind -
